September 11

Some exciting happenings coming to the clubhouse


We have all been hearing rumors about changes that will be put into place. Not being sure is scary but we trust in our staff to always do what is best for us.

Anna, Donna and Sam went to St Louis for 3 weeks to learn just how the changes are to be introduced to us all. Every Tuesday morning we have an all group meeting so they can tell us some of the changes that are going to be made. We are going to be a more client focused clubhouses. Any way that is the plan, but it is mostly a wait and see what is going to happen, and hope for the best.

We are having our annual “Trivia Night” Saturday November 9 2013. We usually raise a good amount of money to add to our Clubhouse fund. Cost is $10 dollars a person so save your money and sign up on the signup sheet. We always have a great time so come join us.

Our membership is growing and we really need to have more space, it is hard to navigate between all the tables to get to a place to sit. We need room for us all, so we need to grow in size. Growing takes money, so we are all encouraged to participate in our fund raisers.

We are together better than when we are alone. Our strength together is what makes our FIA a clubhouse of friends and family growing and sharing every day.
